Hi, thanks for suggestions!
I'll definitely migrate to 4.0 after all this is done, then.

Old prod DC I fear can't suffer losing a node right now (a few nodes have the disk 70% full), but I can maybe find a third node for the new DC right away.

BTW the new nodes have got 3× the disk space, but are not so much different regarding CPU and RAM: does it make any sense giving them a bit more num_tokens (maybe 20-30 instead of 16) than the rest of the old DC hosts or "asymmetrical" clusters lead to problems?

No real need to do that anyways, moving from 6 nodes to (eventually) 8 should be enough lessen the load on the disks, and before more space is needed I will probably have more nodes.

I personally maybe would go following way (need to calculate how many joins/decommissions will be at the end):

  * Decommission one node from prod DC
  * Form new DC from two new machines and decommissioned one.
  * Rebuild DC from existing one, make sure that repair finished, etc.
  * Switch traffic
  * Remove old DC
  * Add nodes from old DC one by one into new DC
